Subsequently, a committee composed of representatives from the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence and the American Society of Addiction Medicine have developed a definition that includes typical behavioral changes, as well as the concept of denial ( 387). They characterized alcoholism as the following ... 

National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence and the American Society of Addictive Medicine defines alcoholism as a chronic disease influenced by genetic, psychological, and environmental factors. Alcoholism is described as a loss of control over drinking—a preoccupation with drinking despite negative consequences to one s physical, mental, and emotional makeup as well as one s work and family life. 

According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD), close to 14 million Americans use and abuse alcohol. One third are women and the rest are men. Fifty percent of adults in the United States admit to having alcoholism in their family. One out of every four children come from families where alcohol abuse is a problem.

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence has developed a test to help you determine whether or not you may have a problem with drugs. Portions of this self-test have been adapted here to help you honestly assess whether or not you may need help with your use of cocaine. Remember that only a professional—a doctor or trained specialist—can diagnose addiction. This list of possible risk factors for cocaine addiction is not designed to do that. Instead, it is designed to help you honestly examine your use of cocaine and better understand your risk factors for becoming dependent on cocaine.

Because CNG is primarily methane, it is expected to have relatively low reactivity, with the small amounts of reactive impurities such as small olefins and alkanes being responsible for most of its reactivity (see Table 16.14). Emissions of CO are smaller than from gasoline-powered vehicles, while the effect on NOx emissions is not clear (National Research Council, 1991). As seen in Tables 16.10 and 16.11, CNG shows the highest promise for low-reactivity exhaust emissions, and this appears to be the case for its use in real vehicles (Gabele, 1995). Figure 16.40, for example, shows the estimated ozone production per mile traveled for a vehicle fueled on CNG compared to vehicles fueled on reformulated gasoline (RFG) or the alcohol fuels M85 or E85 (vide infra). These measurements and estimates based on them include the contributions from both exhaust (including CO) and evaporative emissions (Black et al., 1998). Clearly, the reactivity of the CNG-powered vehicle emissions was substantially smaller than for the other vehicle-fuel combinations.
